Patrick McGinlay (born 30 May 1967) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and is best known for his two spells at Hibernian.[2][3][4]

McGinlay grew up in the

1991,[2] and went on to make over 150 appearances in his first stint at Easter Road.[5]

In 1993, he was signed by Celtic, the club he supported as a child,[3] for a fee of £525,000 after he impressed then boss Liam Brady. He made his debut on 7 August 1993 as a substitute in a 2–2 draw away to Motherwell. However, after just over fifteen months he was on the move again as he was not part of new manager Tommy Burns's plans,[2] in spite of McGinlay being Celtic's top goalscorer in the previous season.[3][6] With the cash raised from selling McGinlay, Burns bought Tosh McKinlay – one of McGinlay's old St Peters Boys teammates – from Hearts.

McGinlay rejoined Hibs for a fee of £420,000 on 1 November 1994. He remained at Easter Road for six seasons,

2002 Scottish League Cup Final.[2] He made 74 appearances in all competitions for the Honest Men and scored 23 goals before retiring in 2005. He later operated a cleaning business in Cambuslang with his wife Margaret.[2][3]

McGinlay represented

Northern Ireland B at his club ground Easter Road in 1995.[7]
